Little Man by Meg Rice

Slender little man Wears alert bright eyes, Stands erect in white tuxedo, Wings tucked up behind his back. Colors coordinate above and below, Beak and feet fluoresce in a yellow-orange glow.

Long clawed toes grip, then slip, Then slide down mossy spillway ramp, Turbulence froths ‘round long black stocking, Then disappears his feet. Smiling golden beak awaits Small fish, to catch and eat.

Well fed little man Wears drowsier eyes, Bends low at knobby knees. Outstretched wings thrust down, he’s up. Flying streak of orange, before and aft, He seeks river’s shore to nap.
